He spent this past winter in Lake Tahoe, snowboarding and shooting photos every day.
Ahhh, the life!
Almost 3 years ago I built Ben his first website to showcase his photos.
Ben wanted a simple design so the photos were the main focus.
We decided to go with a plain white page with a simple header and menu.
The site is entirely JavaScript and is fun to interact with.
The photos are loaded on-demand via AJAX calls to back-end PHP resources.
For many of the photos, Ben also has them uploaded to his Flickr page.
It turned into quite a task.
The gallery I used is called JqGalScroll which was created by Benjamin Sterling and based on jQuery.
It was my first time working with jQuery and I really like it so far.
I definitely plan to use it for future projects if possible.
Ben and I are both extremely happy with the way his site turned out.
The project was a fun one for me and a great learning experience.
yo head over to Ben’s site and experience it for yourself.
